Excerpt from “Eradicating Mental Health Stigma in the Military and Beyond”
Reasons to defy unjustified stigma and seek treatment:
ü Your life is more valuable than the uninformed opinions of others who have not walked in your shoes.
ü By speaking up, you are not only helping yourself, you are giving permission for others to do the same.
ü You are part of the fight against stigma.
ü You are taking a step toward self-empowerment.
ü Your friends and family will thank you.
ü Your future self will thank you.
